This is a very interesting article! Dr. Andrew Weil is a well know and respected author and teacher on natural remedies. The link below also contains the popular e-mail with the margarine/butter comparison. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.naturodoc.com/library/nutrition/margbutt.htm By Dr. Andrew Weil "For many years people have debated the merits of guns versus butter as symbols of spending on military or domestic comfort. Since 1869, another political debate has gone on, this one concerning the merits of margarine versus butter. In that year, a French food chemist succeeded in making a cheap substitute for the real thing, which had become scarce and expensive in the wake of a European cattle plague. The word margarine came from the Greek for "pearl," because the original version was hard, white, and glossy. It also must have been less than appetizing, since it was made from beef fat, milk, and chopped sheep's stomachs and cow's udders, all treated with heat, lye, and pressure."
